Abstract
In the
early
days
of
aviation
,
particularly
after
World
War
I
,
many
geographers
wrote
about
the
value
of
observing
a
place
from
above
. They
thought
aerial
observations
would be a
valuable
aid
to
regional
studies
. This
early
enthusiasm
for
observing
places
from
above
seems
to have
followed
a
similar
pattern
to the
broader
field
of
regional
geography
. The
use
of
aerial
observation
declined
in
popularity
among
geographers
during
the
mid-twentieth
century
. The
use
of
aviation
as a
geographic
tool
also
went
through
a
quantification
revolution
.
Aerial
observation
became
seen
primarily
as a
tool
for
automatic
data
gathering
by
remote
sensors
. The
value
of
direct
observation
of the
landscape
from an
aircraft
received
little
attention
among
geographers
after
the
quantification
revolution
of the
1960s
and
1970s
but the
interest
has been
renewed
in the
past
decade
. The
purpose
of this
thesis
is
to
trace
the
historical
uses
of
aviation
,
over
the
past
century
, as a
geographic
field
method
used
to
gain
an
aerial
perspective
. There are
many
opportunities
for
geographers
or
students
of
geography
to
either
take
a
flight
in an
aircraft
, to
read
aerial
descriptions
, or to
analyze
photography
taken
by
others
while
flying
over
a
region
. This
thesis
contends
that the
study
of
geography
can
be
enriched
by
gaining
an
aerial
perspective
through
flight
.
